I just bought the GTA pack on Steam and after getting seriously annoyed at how the stretched the HUD was on high res widescreen i went searching for a fix, and i ended up here. Never thought i'd find a still active modding community but i'm really glad there is.

Tried both the GTA III and VC fix but i get these errors

I can run the game and mess around in the menus but whenever i start/load a game it stops at about 85% of the load bar, and i have to alt+tab out to the error message.

If you get your games from steam, and want to use mods/fixes, first thing to do you need to replace all executables. You can find them in my IV hud installation files(use dropbox links). Use 1.0 or 1.1 for gta 3, 1.0 for vc, 1.0us hoodlum for sa(downgrade procedure might include some other things, i don't really remember). For gta3/vc i recommend to install cleo.asi also, because it's included no cd patch, to avoid any disc requirements.

They were supposed to be 16:9, but the borders are a bit off. Besides, R* forces 3d stuff to be 5:4 in widescreen (when Widescreen in Display Options is disabled). That's weird and I'm not sure what's the reason, but perhaps that's why such oddities occur.

Yeah i already read about the extra things you have to do to mod SA but i'll try that later.

I managed to get your widescreen mod working for III and VC, gonna try to add some other ones now.

I saw all your other mods on gtagarage, very nice mods you have there, keep up the great work and thank you for you help.

Thanks for all your work ThirteenAG and Silent. Rockstar's widescreen method was an eyesore, so it's great to finally see it fixed (it only took 8 years ). Well, I guess it couldn't be helped with older games such as III and VC, but at least SA should have had proper widescreen.

Anyway, if I notice any new bugs, I'll be sure to report them.

You know what's a silly decision of R*s? WIDESCREEN option actually alters the screen to be proper for 16:9 resolutions, yet they didn't allow 16:9 resolutions in 1.0!

Still, 5:4/16:10 and all the other aspect ratios were screwed. I've been playing in 16:10 for ages and never could use Widescreen option from Display Options, it made things just way too flat.
